Perfect PDA at a great size

I love my RIM 950 Blackberry now that I have one. I had heard about them from everyone, and even seen one in a movie, so I finally caved and got one. This little tiny thing is amazing, and with all the things it can do. I might as well toss my pager...

Not a good fit for me

My main complaint about the 950 seems trivial, but is actually pretty important. I absolutely refuse to wear this thing on my belt, so I keep it in my handbag. Well, the holster is not rigid enough, so the device turns itself on when I'm not paying...

Great, great device

This thing saved my life. I am chronically disorganized (always writing things down on slips of paper and losing them, forgetting appointments, and such). Well, now I have it all in one place and it nags me enough so I can't forget anything! I love...

helpful hints from a new user for personal use

I bought one of these on [the web] for SUBSTANTIALLY less ...than new, and I am quite pleased. But I would feel burned if I had bought this new, as even basic service is [dollar amount] a month. The service providers should do like the cell phone...

Don't bother with express shipping

I was in a hurry and about to leave town so I ordered a new 950 and paid extra for express shipping. What they don't tell you is that once you receive the Blackberry you have to register it. Once registered, it supposedly takes three business days...
